Summary
A poll commissioned by Danish and Greenlandic newspapers revealed that 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the U.S., contradicting Trump’s claims that the territory prefers American rule over Denmark.
Only 6% supported U.S. affiliation, with 9% undecided.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede reaffirmed the push for Greenlandic independence, rejecting both U.S. and Danish governance.
Trump has argued Greenland is vital for U.S. security and suggested force as an option.
Meanwhile, Denmark seeks to maintain unity with allies while opposing Trump’s ambitions.
15% in support or undecided of being part of the US is pretty high, surprising
Not really, on virtually any poll with enough people, something like 10-20% of people will always be contrarian, no matter the question. You could ask if kicking puppies is evil and 15% would answer “it’s okay sometimes, as a treat”.
When I’ve been a good boy mama let’s me kick puppies.
President Musk hasn’t paid the other 85% yet.
